Newgrounds Wiki: About Newgrounds
"YouTube. Flickr. MySpace. Wikipedia. Second Life. Bored yet? Probably. We've had the message of how these web phenomena epitomise the user-generated content revolution excitably rammed down our throats for what seems like years. Yet the sites that really kickstarted the movement hardly get a mention.
Newgrounds.com, the large Flash games and animation site that spawned Alien Hominid, has been accepting user-produced submissions since 1999. That it has been quietly spearheading for eight years what is only now being trumpeted about in the mainstream media is indicative of how overlooked the Flash games scene is."
-EDGE Magazine (UK), July 2007
There is always something exciting going on at NG and everyone is welcome to participate; whether artist, programmer, musician, voice actor, writer, or casual visitor.
Anyone can play a productive role here at NG. Writing a positive review will boost an artist's spirits; submitting a user-made level validates the hard work of the developer who created the editor. There are celebrities amongst the community but no one rules forever and new stars are born all the time. Have a look around and find your own way to get involved!
Newgrounds is a self-sustaining little engine that can, free of investor and corporate interests.
We're striving to create and maintain a unique outpost on the web!
